Four student teams from UCF’s Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA) will be seeking public input on their latest in-progress video games.

The playtest will be held from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on July 19, 2017 in the Tech Commons building. The students will be on UCF’s concourse recruiting players the day of the playtest and the event is free and open to the public.

These games serve as the students’ theses for the FIEA program, which was ranked the #2 graduate video game development program this year by the Princeton Review. The public will have a chance to play the games, meet the developers and shape the games with their feedback. The games will be finished on August 4, 2017.

The games being tested are “Hollowed,” “The Draft,” “Master Key” and “The Logician.” “The Draft” is a virtual reality game where you play as a soldier in a gladiator sport. “Logician” is a farming game with robots that aims to inspire an interest in programming. In “Master Key” players use a tether gun and wall running to escape an alien planet. In “Hollowed” players solve physical puzzles in the underworld using cooperation between two characters that they control.

Citation metrics provide quantitative data used to evaluate the impact of a scholar’s research. Several methods and tools exist to assist scholars with obtaining information about citation counts and impact data, such as ISI Web of Science, Google Scholar, and other citation counting tools by discipline. Metrics also assist scholars with identifying key journals and notable researchers in their field.

Part 2: Managing Researcher Profiles In part two of the workshop we’ll discuss why it’s important to develop an online profile as a researcher, how to promote your work and connect with other researchers and look at several sites in depth. See what ORCID, LinkedIn, Research Gate, Academia.edu, PIVOT, Plum Analytics, and Google Scholar can do for you. Please bring your laptop if you would like to follow along with the presentation.

Students must register for all workshops through their myUCF Student Center under Graduate Students then Pathways to Success.

In a culture where being social and outgoing are prized above all else, it can be difficult, even shameful, to be an introvert. But, as Susan Cain argues in this passionate talk, introverts bring extraordinary talents and abilities to the world, and should be encouraged and celebrated.
